Pawan Khera Meets Sonam Wangchuk on 20th Day of Hunger Strike as Exam Leak Protest Intensifies

Congress leader Pawan Khera visited activist Sonam Wangchuk at Jantar Mantar on the 20th day of his hunger strike against examination paper leaks, including NEET-UG. As Wangchuk's health deteriorates due to low blood pressure, dehydration, and weight loss, political tensions have escalated over demands for Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation and the planned July 20 march to Parliament.

Congress leader Pawan Khera visited activist Sonam Wangchuk at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on Friday, expressing solidarity with him on the 20th day of his hunger strike against alleged examination paper leaks, including the NEET-UG controversy. The visit came as concerns grew over Wangchuk's deteriorating health and the escalating political confrontation surrounding the protest.

Sonam Wangchuk joined the Cockroach Janta Party's campaign demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over repeated examination paper leak allegations. According to details shared during the protest, Wangchuk's health has weakened significantly after 20 days of fasting. His weight has reportedly dropped to 56.55 kilograms, while he is also suffering from low blood pressure and dehydration, raising concerns about his medical condition.

During his visit, Pawan Khera criticized the Union Government, accusing it of displaying insensitivity toward the concerns raised by students and protesters. He extended support to Wangchuk's campaign and reiterated the demand for accountability over examination paper leaks that have triggered widespread public concern.

The political confrontation intensified after Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan reportedly dismissed the protesters as a "B-team." The controversy deepened further when a Bharatiya Janata Party leader described Sonam Wangchuk as a "Chinese agent," triggering widespread backlash and adding another layer of political tension to the ongoing protest.
